In this episode, I’m looking at Saturn-Neptune conjunctions in birth charts and sharing some preliminary research I’ve been doing recently about how this placement shows up in people’s lives. With the Saturn-Neptune conjunction finally going exact in the sky right now on February 20, 2026, I wanted to shift our focus from mundane world events to how this alignment manifests on a personal level, especially by looking at the lives of notable individuals and celebrities.
I explore a variety of fascinating manifestations, from what I’ve been calling the “reality distortion field,” to themes of mysteries, hidden secrets coming to light, and the tension between belief and skepticism. I also spend a lot of time talking about “recurrence transits”, where people born under a previous Saturn-Neptune conjunction experience major, defining turning points in their lives when the two planets align again years later.
Since this is ongoing research, I want to hear from you. If you have a Saturn-Neptune conjunction in your own birth chart, or if you know of any other great celebrity examples I might have missed, please let me know down in the comments. If we get enough good examples, I’m planning to do a follow-up episode to explore this topic even further.
